A richer, healthier, more fulfilling life
From within the village you’re immersed in nature with towering trees, park-like grounds and show quality gardens.
Stroll down the village’s beach access and within minutes you’ll be greeted by the sparkling Tauranga Harbour. From there meandering coastal walks let you explore the peninsula on foot or by bike.
When you’ve finished a soak in the thermal mineral pool, you will leave feeling blissfully relaxed.
With an environment that makes staying active and connected to nature so easy, it’s not hard to understand why residents at Ōmokoroa Country Estate enjoy better health and wellbeing on a daily basis.

Nearly 10 hectares of park-like grounds
Our beautiful established gardens are what really sets Ōmokoroa Country Estate apart from other retirement villages. Our 150 well-appointed homes are situated on nearly 10 hectares of grounds with streets lined with huge oak trees, phoenix palms and magnolias. Individual gardens are bursting with colour from rhododendrons, camelia bushes, kowhai trees all year round.
This land was once a fertile farm and orchard, and citrus trees laden with fruit are still found throughout the estate. You’ll hear tūī singing in the trees above you, and you may see ducks waddling past your front door.
Our team of gardeners take care of all the hard work and are happy for you to add your own special touch if you desire. We also have a popular community vegetable patch where you’re welcome to grow fresh produce for yourself or others.
On-site parking is also available for campervans, caravans and Motorhomes (plus a wash-down pad for cleaning), so you can head out on adventures whenever you choose and return home to paradise when you’re ready.
FAQs
Your Occupation Right Agreement gives you the right to live in your chosen home and also to enjoy the services and facilities offered at the village in accordance with the terms and conditions of the Occupation Right Agreement. To obtain this occupation right, the resident will agree to pay: a refundable entry payment; and a facilities fee contribution payable on the termination of the Occupational Right Agreement.
Your interests are protected by a Memorandum of Encumbrance, which is registered over the title of the village property and held in the name of the Statutory Supervisor. The Memorandum of Encumbrance is like a first mortgage over the land and acts as security to ensure performance of the village’s responsibilities.
A Statutory Supervisor is appointed to act as a “watch dog” over the village on behalf of the residents. The Statutory Supervisor has wide ranging powers available to protect residents’ interests and ensure we fulfil our obligations set out in the Occupation Right Agreement and under the Retirement Villages Act.
We want you to be comfortable with the knowledge that you have made the right decision for yourself based on all the information available. You will receive a copy of the village’s disclosure statement, Code of Residents Rights and Code of Practice.
When you have made the decision to buy into the village, you will need to complete an application form. On completing an application form, you will be asked to pay a holding deposit. The deposit will be held by the Statutory Supervisor. When the conditions (if any) as specified on the application form are met, you will be sent an Occupation Right Agreement for review with your solicitor before you commit yourself, or sign any documents. A settlement date will then be agreed.
You may cancel the Occupation Right Agreement within 15 working days of signing the Occupation Right Agreement.
If for some reason, you choose to permanently move out of the village, then you give us notice to terminate your Occupation Right Agreement, we then remarket the occupation right and once the home is re-occupied we refund you the balance of the entry payment (after deducting the facilities contribution and miscellaneous costs, if any). The resale value will usually be based on actual similar resales that have occurred in the village. It normally takes about the same time to sell an occupation right in a village as it would to sell a home in the community.
In certain circumstances you can transfer to another home within our village. In such a scenario certain financial adjustments will need to be undertaken.
A village weekly fee covers the day-to-day operating costs of the village. Some of the items this fee is used to cover are: general rates, water rates, insurance for all buildings, maintenance of the village common areas, recreation facilities, lawn mowing and garden maintenance.

A handyman is available to assist with any maintenance issues you may have for a reasonable fee.
Pets often play an important part in people’s lives. Existing house-trained pets are generally accepted with management’s consent.

Your guests are welcome to also enjoy a meal in the Dining Room. Just as you would invite friends to socialise in your home, so you can in the facilities provided at our village.
The choice is entirely yours. Some residents like to be totally involved while others prefer to live quietly. Our villages are a community of similar-aged residents with varying interests and different circumstances, so you can decide just how much you want to be involved in the life of the village.
